It seems like I keep talking about embarrassing
things or addictions on Fridays. Keeping with that theme, time for
another embarrassing thing about myself:
Yeah. I guess somewhere in my mind I always kind of knew
that, but I don’t really think about it that much. This conversation happened
with my friend and my old roommate once:
Friend: Why are you chewing so LOUD?
Me: Huh? Uhh… I guess I didn’t realize I was.
Roommate *incredulously*: Wait, you don’t realize how loud you chew??
She wasn’t trying to be snarky. It was an honest question.
Anyhoo, this came up again a couple weeks ago with
Boyfriend. I forget the context, exactly. I think it’s possible I maybe was
being slightly dramatic.

Any other loud chewers out there? Someone? Please?
You are so funny! My husband is a loud chewer. But I'd take that over the snoring any day...
ReplyDeleteOne day he will video you. While eating.
ReplyDeleteMy sister always told me I was a loud chewer. But how is that something you can help? As long as you chew with your mouth closed, you're good. Wait, are you making loud MMMMMMmmmMMmmmm noises while you're eating? That might be a problem.
ReplyDeleteI can't eat chips in the house-even with my mouth closed-my hub will point out EVERY time i chew loud....
ReplyDeleteI am a loud chewer. And a snorer. And a fast eater. Also, my eyelids don't completely close at night. Not that that is relevant, but I feel much better now that I got that off my chest.
ReplyDeleteRight now you just described the most unattractive woman in the world. Bless your heart. :)
DeleteThanks for making me laugh this morning. I'm not a loud chewer but I'm worse: I have TMJ so my jaw pops constantly when I eat. It's horrific.
ReplyDeleteOh god me too and everyone CRINGES and yells, "OH GOD DOESN'T THAT HURT?!?!?"
DeleteI have yet to figure out what my problem is... but thanks for planting the seed that it could be as simple as chewing loudly! :)
ReplyDeleteWe all have our faults. Coleridge was a mouth breather.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any teeth...I can't chew.
ReplyDeleteMy husband drinks loudly. He gulps everything. One day I said, "Do you seriously have to wait until you're so dehydrated that you need to drink an entire 8 oz glass of water in three seconds?" BAH!!
ReplyDeleteMy sister is a loud chewer and I, like your roommate assumed she knew. I told her when she was like 25 cuz I got annoyed when we were at lunch one day. Haha, she was utterly shocked.
ReplyDeleteMy bad food habit is I eat SO fast.
No one has ever told me I am a loud chewer, but The Hurricane told me I sound like a chainsaw when I snore, which is all night long.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
No matter what I eat, it will always find a way to end up being caked at the corners of my mouth. This has been going on since before Junior High and it's embarrassing when you come home to find you have chocolate dried up there. ._.
ReplyDeleteI wish my husband was a loud chewer. I would take that over his snoring and talking in his sleep any day :).
ReplyDeletebelieve me there are worst problems then loud chewing- frequent accidental burping comes to mind :(
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is very sensitive to noise and he tells us all that we chew loudly. I'm sure I chew at normal decibels, but when he lived with me for a while, I was so self-conscious of my chewing. It was awful! No one should have to live like that! So you just chew away darling :)
ReplyDeleteMy partner burps as loud as an elephant. I oftentimes feel embarrassed when we are eating with other people but I am encouraging him to do something about it. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOkay I commented on other peoples' crap so it's time I owned up. I always always forever no matter what have gas. I just sit with a blanket in the middle of the summer and pretend to be cold. When it's just my son I let it go but when the husband is around I try to be discreet. It doesn't always work. Can I make this anonymous?
ReplyDeleteI tried that "never eating again" thing when an ex told me I could stand to lose a few. That lasted until I got hungry and realized he was a douche.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a loud chewer. But I'm a loud breather. Sometimes I get self-conscious and try to breathe quietly, but then I just end up gasping for air after a few minutes when I start feeling dizzy.
ReplyDeleteCould you just close your lips to mute things like the rest of us, or is it a mysterious mechanical grinding/crunching sound from deep within your head?
ReplyDeleteBecause that's actually pretty cool.
I LOVE THIS BLOG! Lots of funny people here! Keep posting!
ReplyDeleteI never really thought about my chewing lol. From this day forth I just might start being conscious!
ReplyDeleteGia, here's the deal. I AM YOUR PEOPLE. Apparently I chew potato chips so loudly (according to my mother) it sounds like thunder. She calls it my "thunder crunch". But here's the thing I don't get: I chew with my mouth closed! So WTF is going on in there?! It's like I have a tiny little stereo system built into my jaws. Luckily it doesn't bother my husband. Plus, I'm not really eating chips any more on account of my weight gain so, yay me?
ReplyDeleteWell, again...loud chewing is MUCH better than loud snoring!! :))
ReplyDeleteMe! Apparently I smack my lips when I chew. Completely unconsciously. It just HAPPENS. It's gotta be the way my lips are shaped or something, I swear, because even when I'm conscious of it and try really REALLY hard it still bursts free!
ReplyDeleteThis was a major source of contention between me and my best friend and then-roommate when we moved out together. It drove her nuts, and all my efforts to correct the matter were to no avail.
Jeez... I hope MY boyfriend is okay with it and not just being polite!
Sooo funny! This is definitely my oldest daughter. She drives me insane while we are eating. My husband thinks it is hysterical how it gets under my skin so much.
